The bank customers share of profit made on loans by the bank is called the "Interest". It is the money the bank pays the customer for having their money deposited with the bank. As you know, the bank earns an interest income from loan customers for the money they lend them, and since this money they lend is taken from the deposits placed by customers, banks share the profit by paying an interest to the customer who has placed the deposit with them.
